Konstantin Puchkov (born 1952) is a Russian poker player, horse trainer and horse breeder from Moscow.[1] He was the fourth Russian-born player to earn a World Series of Poker bracelet.[2] He is best known for having earned a World Series of Poker bracelet in his first World Series of Poker in the money finish (2010 World Series of Poker Event #31: H.O.R.S.E., $1,500 buy-in) and setting the record for most in the money finishes at one series during the 2012 World Series of Poker (11).
Puchkov had gone cashless in three prior World Series of Poker Series, including 21 events in 2009 prior to winning a bracelet in his first in the money finish.[2] He claims his 21 events without cashing is a record.
